Chapter 586: Four-Edged Sword
The Jiajiaying Military Factory is under the management of the Logistics Department, and a total of 100 hydraulic drilling machines have been set up along both banks of the river, and dams have been built on the riverbed in order to improve the stability of the water flow. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When Wang Dou arrived here, he saw that along the river bank, long sheds were arranged, and in the sheds, there were a rack of drilling machines, and the river flowed through, and the drill bits kept rotating.
These drill machines, the stressed parts, are all replaced with bronze.
There is also a rotating bearing shaft, which is also replaced with bronze, which is much higher than the previous wooden structure, bearing capacity, and service life.
Not far behind each drilling machine, there is a large box, on which there are drilled guns, Wang Dou casually walked to a box, picked up a gun, and saw that the drilling was smooth and even, Wang Dou couldn't help but nod.
Qi Tianliang introduced, due to the use of many years, and because of the construction of the dam, the speed regulation problem of the drilling machine has been basically solved, and the number of experienced craftsmen has increased, and now there are 100 hydraulic drilling machines, and at least 700 pipes can be drilled a month, which is much higher than the usual 500.
Moreover, the loss rate of drilling tools and the scrapping rate of the gun pipe have decreased a lot, and there are fewer manpower that need to be guarded.
Wang Dou is quite satisfied, the use of machines, is more effective and stable than the use of human hands, but it is a pity that the river water is greatly affected by seasonality, and it is more troublesome during the dry period.
Jiajiaying Military Factory, in addition to making bird guns, also produces armor and weapons.
It is not simple to make armor, the step armor of the Song Dynasty, the armor leaves amounted to more than 1,800 pieces, and there were multiple processes of perforation, fine grinding, and it took nearly a month to make a pair of armor, and it took nearly a month to manufacture a pair of plate armor in the West.
Da Ming's armor, although it is simplified a lot, is still not a simple matter to form a pair.
Walk through some of the factories. There are quite a lot of military wives inside, and the armor inlaid with iron in the Ming and Jingbian armies is sewn and inlaid. Patience is required, and in this regard, the big men have an advantage over the women comrades. The military women in the inside, the Shunxiang Fort era, some people. Just working in the armor factory, they have become stewards at all levels.
They all have good incomes, some even have higher incomes than the men in the family, and this woman has a higher income than the man, which inevitably leads to some family disputes, and the man is higher than the woman. It is the key to harmony, women are high and men are low, and most of them are tragic.
Of course, it is impossible to make them give up a good income, when the lieutenants adjusted. I can only urge the men in their family to work hard.
The sound of clanging iron came, and he walked to a rather large factory shed, where the heat was pressing, and the fire was splashing, and here was the place where Wang Dou opened and built the sword.
In the factory shed, there are many military craftsmen, busy coming and going, they are divided into multiple groups, each group, there are experienced stewards and old craftsmen, they are responsible for building some key parts, as well as the quality inspection of weapons after building, all very carefully.
After all, the Jingbian military system is strict, and the weapons are not up to standard, and one of the personnel who will be held accountable after the fact will reach their heads.
The color of the fox hats on the heads of these stewards, as well as the shoulders and collars of the smocks, and the color of the trim are also different from those of ordinary military craftsmen, reflecting their rank everywhere.
Walking through the factory shed, the warcraftsmen were busy, all of them were concentrated, and they didn't even notice Wang Dou and the others who were patrolling, and when they walked to the rear warehouse, boxes of swords were also carried over and piled up.
Weapons into storage, but also need to go through a check, these guns, one of the quality standards, is the size of the sleeve, need to be attached to a certain standard, when used, can be put on the gun, can not be big or small.
However, the results of the inspection, except for a very few, basically conform to the standard, which is also the result of Wang Dou's early implementation of weapon standardization and the use of weights and measures in the early Ming Dynasty.
The weights and measures of the early Ming Dynasty are very standardized, as early as the first year of Hongwu, Ming Taizu made the cast iron Hu bucket rise, used to calibrate, reduce its style in the world, the weights and measures used by the commercial houses and shops, must go to the government to imprint, the township people use the Hu bucket scale, but also the same as the official issuance of the use of the scale.
Daming weights and measures management is complete, the error is very small, the large aspect, from the zhang, the ruler, the inch, the small aspect, from the minute, cent, milli, second, and even to the sudden, to create a ruler, tailoring ruler, there are fine calculations.
Although with the active commerce, the merchants colluded with the bureaucrats and landlords to arbitrarily increase the number of weights and measures, causing a certain amount of confusion, as long as they were restored to the weights and measures standards of the Ming Taizu era and used to make weapons, there would be no problem, and there would be no problem with the standardization of parts.
As early as the Shunxiang Fort era, Wang Dou built weapons according to the weights and measures of the early Ming Dynasty, which was also one of the reasons why he had excellent weapons in the army.
Wang Dou didn't think that he had to be accurate to the second to make a bird gun and a sword, and even suddenly, the standard in front of him was enough.
Those who are responsible for the quality inspection of the sword, that is, each person holds a bird sword, puts the sword on a set, feels the fit of the sword, and there are a number of procedures before they can enter the warehouse, they do not dare to be sloppy, once something happens, they will lose their jobs, and they will be imprisoned, so they have to be careful.
It is understandable that the weapons of the Jingbian Army are well-known and well-known.
Wang Dou picked up a sword and looked at it, feeling that it was still a little heavy in his hand, this sword, except for the round part of the sleeve and the arc in front of it, the rest of the parts were a little different from the bayonet in his impression.
It was not a flat bayonet, but it was round as a whole, and the body of the sword looked like a long iron rod, and about two-thirds of the way to the tip of the sword was covered with blood grooves, like Mosinna's four-edged thorns.
This is the result of a collective discussion, a choice made in desperation.
In 1688, French Field Marshal Davabon designed a sleeve bayonet, which was fixed by the clamp on the barrel and the card groove on the bayonet, and the cross-section was cross-prismal.
At the earliest, European and American countries used triangular thorns, or four-edged thorns, but with the improvement of steelmaking technology, this single-function military thorn was quickly eliminated.
After all, in white-knuckle warfare, the military stab can only stab, not cut, and after the flat bayonet pierces the air, when the gun is recovered, it can also be cut, and the flat bayonet has a variety of survival functions, and the military stab is eliminated, which is inevitable.
Of course. Three-edged or four-edged stabs also have the advantage of having a stronger blade than a flat bayonet, and it is easier to build. After testing, the Jingbian army's sword can pierce armor and is not easy to break. As long as it is not against maces, sticks and other weapons, there are still very effective ones.
Although this sword has a single function. It is possible to be eliminated in the future, but that is a matter of the long term, for now, it is still appropriate, and the so-called survival function will be handed over to the Jingbian soldiers to solve the knife.
……
The fifteenth year of Chongzhen, April. Dong.
With the sound, more than a dozen fast horses ran along the smooth road to the residential area of Xiangying Mountain.
Immediately each of them was dressed in brocade. Wearing three mountain hats and waist knives, they were dressed as officers of the Jingbian Army, and the people they saw along the way all cast envious eyes.
Soon, everyone rushed to the foot of a mountain, a river surrounded, along the side of the mountain and the river, a forest of houses, between the houses, are connected by bluestone slabs and cobblestone roads, the scenery is beautiful.
This is one of the residences of the officers of the Jingbian Army.
In Yongning City, there are too many officers living there, so the Shogunate Logistics Department built a mansion in Xiangying Mountain, which is not far from Yongning City in the south and Liu Bin Fort in the east.
Walking here, there are all well-dressed men and women, as well as children, according to the welfare of the Jingbian Army, the officers of the general rank, can be divided into rooms for free, of course, just ordinary standard courtyards, if you want better, buy it yourself, but the price is quite discounted.
There are also captains and team officer levels, if you want a house, you must also buy it yourself, but the houses with backyard garden rockeries in front of you, if you put them in the outside world, at least the price will be doubled, which is also one of the benefits of the Jingbian Army.
In addition, all officers can also use meritorious services to purchase, and in the Jingbian Army, meritorious deeds are used very much, and they can also be exchanged for money.
However, money cannot buy meritorious deeds, so no one in the Jingbian Army is willing to exchange meritorious service points for money, for them, it is a captain and an officer, and it is not difficult to buy a mansion.
Along the cobblestone road, there is also a stone bridge, everyone rode horses to the other side, this house, did not build any walls, now the east road is getting more and more peaceful, many rich people, have built garden houses outside the city, do not build any walls and so on.
"Aha, the glory of the ancestors."
Luo Liangzuo's fat body, wearing a brocade robe and a three-mountain hat, looked quite imposing, he was on the horse, and along the way, he didn't know how many times he roared.
"It's really glorious ancestors, 500 acres of fertile land, my old Luo family ancestors and ancestors, just count me Luo Liangzuo is the most promising, hum, when I was young, my father still thought I ate a lot, fortunately, when I was ten years old, Huang Tai Sin in the city told me my fortune, pinched my fingers, and said that I would have a day of soaring, it was really good......"
Listening to his howl, everyone who heard it along the way showed a knowing smile.
At the beginning of the year, the merits of the Jingbian Army began to be exchanged, and according to the calculation of meritorious deeds, 100 meritorious points can be exchanged for 100 acres of fertile land outside the Saiwai area, or 500 mu of grassland and mountainous land.
At present, many low-ranking officers of the Jingbian Army, in general, own hundreds of acres of fertile land, even if they own 1,000 acres of land, they are also idle.
If you want to retire and join the army for three years, you can apply for retirement immediately, and their positions will be filled by later people, and there will be no shortage of talents.
Moreover, Wang Dou believes that advancing and retreating can also keep the flowing water from rotting, so that the army can maintain its vitality and vitality for a long time.
If you don't have the enterprising spirit, and you occupy the pit and don't, it's not a good thing.
The lean Lai Dexiang, who was on the horse, also trembled: "Good guy, I have 450 meritorious points, 250 points, for good land, 200 points, for 400 acres of grassland, I must raise a lot of cattle, a lot of sheep, and chickens, ducks and geese......"
Wu Dingguo cried and said: "Two hundred merits, that is, two hundred acres of fertile land, is the rich man who used to rent in the village, and the field is not more than half of mine, but unfortunately my father and mother can't see it, and I will glorify my ancestors one day." ”
Han Kaihui is calculating, his family is also rich in Zhending, but his ancestors have been around for generations, but he has only 100 acres of fertile land, and now he owns several times the field in his family, and he has become a team officer, and he has also been awarded the rank of captain.
My father and mother and my three sisters, although they have loved themselves since they were children, they have always regarded themselves as children who cannot grow up, and now they have finally proved themselves, and I don't know if they have come to the East Road after receiving the letter.
Han Kaihui was anxious to see his father and mother and three sisters, when he was surprised and happy.
Liu Lie and Mu Dachang looked at Zhao Rongsheng and coaxed: "The old commander is now the commander, and his merits have reached seven hundred, the highest among the people, so you must have a treat!" ”
Immediately, everyone also shouted, Zhao Rongsheng laughed, and he said heroically: "No problem, I'll invite you to come tonight!" (To be continued.) )
